    On the Into the Wild Soundtrack, after the song Guaranteed, the music repeats after a couple minutes only instead of Ed singing the lyrics, he hums them. Very appropriate I would say for the moment. Congrats also.

    This is a great suggestion also. I was actually listening to the album this morning.

    I now have a few to put to my future wife.

    ...go with Thin Air.

    I have every intention to use that and Led Zep's "Thank You" as my two main wedding song...

    ...you know, someday long down the road when I find someone to overlook all my extensive imperfections...

    ...Congratulations. Enjoy it.

    I've always wanted "Thank You" to be one of mine, too - good thinking! :)

    Are you having someone playing the music on an instrument, or just a real version of the song?

    Untitled is beautiful!

    What about "Thumbing My Way"? Has a nice slow dance tempo to it. Or "Come Back" for that matter.
    Rock on!

    We've decided on Guaranteed from the Eddie Vedder Into the Wild album. It's just feels like a really appropriate song.

    It's going to be played from a cd, not by a band unfortunately.

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    I love the Chris Cornell Unplugged in Sweden version of this song too. Really nice lyrics.

    I know its not PJ, but we used 'Throw your arms around me' sung by Eddie at our wedding. We played at the end of the night as we exited the room.

    got married last year and instead of the traditionel weddingdance song kind of thing we do here in Denmark, one of my friends played Yellow Ledbetter/ Little Wings because me and my wife both loved that combination from PJs concert i Vienna 06 and it was during that tour ( 3 shows Praque, Berlin and Vienna ) that I realized that my girlfriend was so cool and she loved PJ as well..... so I popped the big question....

    "Fools Rush In" cover from vegas. My sister is getting married in three weeks, and that's the only PJ related song she agreed to play.
    My rhymes and records they don't get played
    Because my records and rhymes they don't get made
    And if you rap like me you don't get paid
    And if you roll like me you don't get laid.

    Using this October 25th at my wedding as our first dance song! Only PJ I could get!

    Another non PJ song we are surly going to dance to is "The Luckiest" - Ben Folds... If you haven't heard it take a listen...
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JWX11AMBEc
    Song starts at 2:25
    I don't get many things right the first time
    In fact, I am told that a lot
    Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
    Brought me here

    And where was I before the day
    That I first saw your lovely face?
    Now I see it everyday
    And I know

    That I am
    I am
    I am
    The luckiest

    What if I'd been born fifty years before you
    In a house on a street where you lived?
    Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike
    Would I know?

    And in a white sea of eyes
    I see one pair that I recognize
    And I know

    That I am
    I am
    I am
    The luckiest

    I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you

    Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties
    And one day passed away in his sleep
    And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
    And passed away

    I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong
    That I know

    That I am
    I am
    I am
    The luckiest

    The old man part gets me every time I listen to that song.

    My wife and I played that at our recepetion too. Also Thin Air. We made a cd of our favorite songs to give the guests and both were on it. My Wife by The Who closed the cd. My nephew played his guitar for us when we walked the aisle. I couldn't think of any PJ so he played What A Wonderful World for my wife and Pinball Wizard for me.

    I can't believe nobody mentioned Parachutes. I would have used that if it was out when I got married. We started the dance floor with Release, played Throw Your Arms Around Me as a slow song and ended with Ledbetter. I am also a DJ at weddings and when brides request jazz for the cocktail hour, damn right I play Harrybu McCage.. lol.

    My Wife and I danced to "Around the Bend" at our wedding. Felt appropriate and can be a nice tune to dance to. Congrats man!!!
